- TylerE 3y agoYes that’s what exponential means.
- imoverclocked 3y agoNo, “2” is a constant exponent. That makes it a square relation. An exponential relationship is when your variable is in the exponent. ie: e^ax behaves very different than x^a Lift is proportional to a*v^2 where “a” is a bunch of constants based on wing geometry, density altitude, etc. v^2 is most definitely not exponential behavior.
